Mushroom season is just about over here. I'm pretty tired of chopping them now, too. Back to work!

Cathryn, a local term I'm sure, learned from my mom n grandmom, small mushroom on a very tall stem, maybe 6 in. stem and 1 in. head. Often wonder if it's what others call snake heads. But I'm sure you know a mushroom hunter never reveals his spots, so I guess I'll never know. Good luck tomorrow.

Our ground temps are in the low 50's that seems to be the magic number, I expect the yellows to come on this week. I'll be out every day till there done. Good luck.

It's the same as you call P-head Case, I've heard them called both all my life.

Must be an Indiana thing lol.

Found 8 small greys this evening in Clay county. First of the year for me. It seems a little bit late and the woods isn't greened up much. Warm weather this week should really set it off.

Those Grey's are inmature yellows. Bury them in a foot of leaves and check on them in a week.

Do yall usually find big numbers in Indiana?

Depends on the year, also definition of big numbers. I've had years where I've found 1 or 2 bushels others where I couldn't fill a bread sack. Most forest area has been cleared for row crops. Except along rivers and creeks.

I guess I would call big numbers 2000 morels or around 50+ pounds of morels a year.
